Together, we can reimagine the future of our city to be
one, not of scarcity and separation, but one of abundance
and unity, where our neighbors are truly equipped and
empowered to reach their full potential.

23,834 square feet into
re-imagined opportunities for
hundreds of more families in
Cincinnati.
This is currently scoped at a
5.3M dollar expansion, of which
80% of funds are committed.
